Traffic on Route 219 will experience delay

March 22, 2010

SOUTH FORK — Traffic on Route 219 north and south between Ebensburg and Johnstown will experience a delay 6 p.m. Tuesday. The delay is necessary to allow the contractor to lift the bridge near the Portage/South Fork exit to perform necessary repairs.

The state police will be assisting in slowing traffic before it reaches the bridge. This work should take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

A second traffic delay will take place for the same reason on 6 p.m. Monday.

Overall work on this project consists of concrete patching, milling and resurfacing of the existing roadway, drainage and guide rail upgrades, and the rehabilitation of six dual structures between South Fork and New Germany.
